Apparently St. V’s realized they need to snoop through those bins when they come in. I’d buy that Boston record for $1, but not 10x that.

WI Circuit
Had a grueling 3-day trip through Wisconsin and Minnesota and took advantage of whatever I could find on the way, which in this case ended up consisting of entirely Goodwill stores. Day #1 my work was in Sussex WI. I stayed the night in nearby Brookfield. This allowed me to hit Goodwill stores in Brookfield […]
Hadn’t stopped into the Morris St. V’s in a while, so a quick fly through was in order on a trip out west. I was a bit shocked to find that the bin of records had dwindled substantially since my first visit and now contained only a handful of 45s – no LPs in sight. […]

Robinson Ride
I never seem to head to southern Illinois in my travels. I have been to Robinson before but not since 2013. I headed down and got my work done after lunch and by about 4:30pm, I was free. I headed right back up the road to a thrift store I had spotted on the way […]
In my continuing effort to take down all the Chicagoland St. Vincent thrift stores, we rose (relatively, for a Sunday) early to head south (after following the opposite heading on our last jaunt) to Orland Park for yet another excursion. Records aside, this was one of the nicest record bins I’ve ever seen. In many […]
This is my third trip to the KC area. The first was years ago but the second was just a couple months ago. However during that trip my time and mobility were limited. This time, I had a full solid evening to myself with a rental car. I was working in Independance but I was […]
I’ve been to a bunch of St. Vincent thrift stores, in a bunch of different states. And it is really difficult to find a straightforward list of stores, because it seems that someone can open a thrift store as sort of a franchisee. If you check the national St. Vincent website, you will find a […]

GR run
Never give up kids; never give up. I have been to Grand Rapids upwards of 25 times and I’ve been searching for records for a couple years up there. Yet I still continue to find places to dig in. Whether or not I find anything up there to actually buy and hopefully spin on a […]

Findlay Fiasco
On the way out to McComb, I made an array of stops at some old haunts and some new ones as well. A year ago I had stopped at a Goodwill in Waseon OH (I swore it was a Salvation Army which led to great confusion on my part in attempting to retrace my steps. […]

Sunday Drive
At this moment, I am drinking a beer with the Blackhawks game on behind me. Just got done taking a shower and shaving, after dinner. I completed a lengthy and overdue post on my two day adventure in New Hampshire recently and I know that today has been damn near perfect. How many times have […]
